"The China Debate We're Not Having" | Part 2: What Does the United States Want?

Welcome to the Seneca Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program, we look at books, ideas, new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what's happening in China's politics, foreign relations, economics, and society. Join me each week for in-depth conversations. that shed more light and bring less heat to how we think and talk about China. I'm Kaiser Guo coming to you this week from Beijing.

Seneca is supported this year by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a national resource center for the study of East Asia. The Seneca podcast is and will remain free, but if you work for an organization that believes in what I'm doing with the show and with the newsletter, please consider lending your support. I'm still looking for new institutional support, and the lines are open. You can reach me at cynecapod at gmail.com.
